€œMy aim is to get you to read a book by Karl Marx called Capital, Volume 1, and to read it on Marx€s own terms€¦€Â
The biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression has generated a surge of interest in Marx€s work in the effort to understand the origins of our current predicament. For nearly forty years, David Harvey has written and lectured on Capital, becoming one of the world€s most foremost Marx scholars.
Based on his recent lectures, this current volume aims to bring this depth of learning to a broader audience, guiding first-time readers through a fascinating and deeply rewarding text. A Companion to Marx€s Capital offers fresh, original and sometimes critical interpretations of a book that changed the course of history and, as Harvey intimates, may do so again.
